Abstract
- Lingual nerve palsy is a rare multi-etiological disease.Almost all devices used for airway manipulation can cause this complication, including laryngoscopes, laryngeal masks, cuffed oropharyngeal airways, tongue retractors, and suspension laryngoscopes.We report a case of transient lingual nerve palsy after general anesthesia, using orotracheal intubation, for surgery of a humerus fracture in the prone position.
